td2-raid-discussions

[soft shell]

ah, ok thx

[solemn flame]

Only a 10% chance (for raid exclusive exotics) from the crate at the end, and only a 1% chance (for any exotic in their loot pool) from any of the 4 bosses. On normal of course, discovery don’t give squat….

[long sky]

and if your thinking dz its faarrr ffaaarrrr worse

@tender hollow did you let them know your looking?

[unique jewel]

can u duo dark hours raid?

[ashen scaffold]

discovery only

[tender hollow]

Uhhh what do you mean? I found a group for a raid yes

[slow cairn]

(They mean did you let the team know you were looking for EB. If you let the team know, some might have keys and be willing to drop EB for you.)

[tender hollow]

The exotic weapon? Yes, everyone told me in the group “we will help you to get that exotic weapon”

But it didn’t dropped any. So I am unlucky this time

[tender hollow]

Everyone had 5 keys. But no one got it this time

[runic brook]

guys can someone help me to get the eb?

[solemn adder]

#lfg-raid-pc or lfg ps4

[tender hollow]

This is not the channel to ask for it

[runic brook]

sorry

[tender hollow]

It says “no acces” for me

[solemn adder]

lfg ps4

[muted horizon]

#lfg-raid-console is what you're looking for.

[runic brook]

Sorry, wrong channel 🔥

[tender hollow]

Weird why does it says no acces to me haha

[long sky]

Lol I just figured it out

[solemn flame]

Because it’s a pc channel and you have PS4 roles.

[violet slate]

Anywhere i can find some tutorials on how div2 raid works to get started? I done a lot of GRB raids but i heard div2 raids are a lot more complicated

[solemn adder]

you can just search "iron horse tutorial" or "dark hours tutorial" etc and just make sure its a recent video

[violet slate]

Gotcha

How long do these raid usually take?

[solemn adder]

30mins for a competent group

[long sky]

30 min Dark Hours 45mins to an hour for Iron Horse

[remote idol]

You can easily get sub 30 on both if you're not messing about

[dim wharf]

Your not going to get a sub-30 ih in a casual lfg... Telling a new raider to expect a half hour is going to set them up to be surprised when a casual run with nothing even going wrong often takes a bit over an hour

[spare tiger]

i've only ran 3 raids 2 DH 1 IH both sub 20 from this lfg

[solemn flame]

Gonna have to prove that…. Post a pic of your times from the leaderboards in #ask-td2-community or it didn’t happen and your just trolling….

[spare tiger]

we have leaderboards?

ok i was incorrect 25 min on DH 45 on IH

[solemn flame]

Yup, under progression

[spare tiger]

thought my IH was faster than that

[solemn flame]

And when you’re in a raid group you can see all the members stats, even if they aren’t on your friends list.

[rose breach]

Can I get Regulus parts in discovery mode ?

[signal basin]

No

[rose breach]

Aight ty

[solemn flame]

And it needs to be a fresh run, after reset.

[languid briar]

Raids can take up to a hour? I think I’ll be waiting a bit to do one. Are they worth it though?

[long sky]

yes depending on the group can be a riot. besides darkhours gets you bps,materials, a trouphy, and the eaglebearer. Iron hourse gets you materials , lots o trouphies and ravenous plus the projects for regulus

it all must be done on regular NOT discovery

[solemn flame]

Normal

[long sky]

had brain fart...it was stinky too

🤣

[tender hollow]

anyone running dh on ps4?

[worldly spear]

#td2-raid-discussions anyone need a extra for a raid I need eagle bearer

[ashen scaffold]

wrong channel.

[worldly spear]

Ahhh ok thanks

[gloomy holly]

What's the timing for faraday strat on morozova

As in entering the water

[dim wharf]

After you hear the thumping noise of the mortars get in. It's effectively the same timing as normal. The difference with faraday is your intentionally triggering the wipe mechanic right away instead of dealing with the bullet first.

[gloomy holly]

Aight

[dusty axle]

can iron horse be done in an hour or 1.5?

[hot jolt]

Absolutely

[dusty axle]

nice. i ask since i need to do an iron horse raid, and i only have 1.5 hour

it been some time ago tho

[solemn flame]

But it can also take 1-1.5 hours just to get a group together for a “normal” raid….

[dusty axle]

i saw

i probably have to retry tomorrow

[gloomy holly]

As long as it isnt discovery mm it shouldnt take an hour 💀

[solemn flame]

#lfg-raid-pc

[coarse thicket]

I wanna get into raids what’s the ideal build? I have a standard all red dps build

[remote idol]

Standard all red will work for your FTC

[coarse thicket]

Thanks

[long sky]

just let them know your new , and youll be doing a lot of add killing

[pearl prism]

is the EB in general loot pool after you unlock it?

[gloomy holly]

No

Do the headhunters for morozova need nemesis or does tots tac50 work

[remote idol]

The guys in my group use the nemmy

[gloomy holly]

Well you see

🗿

[remote idol]

Huh

[gloomy holly]

I can't be bothered to get neme

[remote idol]

Its worth it if you want a hard hitting rifle

[long patrol]

When people do the the 6/2 split on the DH raid, what kind of builds are the 2 side running that enables them to melt their boss?

[gloomy holly]

They bursting or just normal dps

[fluid pier]

Pistol builds usually

[lethal sand]

@wary shoalMedic4747

@knotty flumemedic4747

[rigid onyx]

This - Dodge city, Achilles, all HSD

[wintry pulsar]

Hey. Can i complete Raids on Normal without Voicechat or is it 100% needed in this Game?

[violet slate]

does the sawyers knees (i think thats wut its called?) work during the lucy/buddy fight preventing u getting blown outta cover by the seeker mines?

[weak elbow]

Comms are required for some of the mechanics of the raid. Most people would strongly prefer you have a mic but you can ask the raid leader if he’s willing to take you without one.

[cinder hemlock]

I think so

[plucky sable]

question. how do you know if your build is raid ready?

[gloomy holly]

If its high ends then 50chc 150chd

If its strikers then like 50chc 100 chd

Also actual talents and guns

[azure pebble]

There is no magical barrier that you need to break. Making it through the raid is a combination of strats, teamwork, builds, player skill, communication, leadership and other factors. Strats can be changed to suit different builds and players. It depends on the team as a whole, not just a single persons build.

[gloomy holly]

just dont bring a 6 blue build 🗿

[tender hollow]

Depends on group - if they know you don't have mic - they can put you in simple spots and use screen chat to tell you what to do. Most groups will require it though.

[mint geyser]

If u know all tactics u can go without mic.
Newbies dont invite if he dont have mic.
Im playing without mic, going on raids without mic with normal party and dont have any troubles

[fast geode]

Where can I find all the raid speedrun builds at?

[long sky]

its not so much the builds which helps but its the knowledge of the raids. IH for example boss 1 nego shot eat grnade , boss 2 also nego shot eat grenade,

[slow cairn]

If you're looking for fast casual times (DH 15-20 mins, IH 30-35 mins), like Saph said it's more about the strats and experience than the builds. You'll probably want Nego, Regulus, Oxi skill and red FI builds.

If you're looking for builds world record holders use, I don't know off the top of my head if they're compiled somewhere (they change periodically). Maybe check out vrooom.gg, which is a dedicated server for speedrunning

[fluid pier]

You can find or ask about them on the vroom discord server.

[compact lark]

Anyone up for a raid ?

[valid marlin]

Check #lfg-raid-console

[long sky]

Hey Isabel

[quasi epoch]

Big shout out to @modern mason for letting me raid for my 1st time! Big don status

[scarlet elm]

SO!

the extra skill point with the technician specialty, if you have already maxed out all skill point atributes does it overcharge or is it just wasted?

[signal basin]

It’ll be wasted. Change a piece to a red or blue core, if you’d like.

[scarlet elm]

thanks

[remote idol]

Note: you will only overcharge if you have a specific talent that says it will give you overcharge

[scarlet elm]

future perfect

[remote idol]

That’ll work

[scarlet elm]

is there a limit to how much youcan share

[torpid hawk]

Five items at a time until their picked up by whoever you’re sharing them with

[scarlet elm]

thanks ^-^

[hushed cypress]

Raid with directives? Whats the point of that? 🫢

I guess its easier now, thanks to the expertise dmg buff.

[dim wharf]

Pure speculation but I'm guessing it's their round about way of fixing directives accidentally being active in raids for awhile now

[gloomy holly]

10 directive raids moment

[honest river]

it's time for having matchmaking to normal raid. it is nonsense to keep it on discovery only

[remote idol]

What would be the point

You're never going to achieve anything with a bunch of randoms who don't know what they're doing

[slow cairn]

Fun fact: You can start a Discovery raid, matchmake to fill, and swap it to normal before starting. Buuuuuut, most of your party will be off mic, will have very little raid experience, sub-optimal builds, and will do crazy things like try to 100% gens on RB themselves or follow Boomer around and shoot at him for no reason the whole time. (Personal experience!) Not an ideal situation, and I'd imagine a matchmade normal raid would be similarly chaotic. People are better off trying to LFG or studying raid guides and trying it with their friends and clans.

[amber sky]

I wanna raid on iron horse Xbox but I don’t want to hold everyone up I’m sorta lost on the raid but understand it at the same time

[swift peak]

wow, no more voice chats according to #discord-news - that's going to make raid management a PITA

[ashen scaffold]

wow....

[lunar hull]

how the hell can you raid without a vc lmfao

[long sky]

I guess in game and it's gonna be garbage

[lunar hull]

This was easily the worst moderation decision I've seen since joining four years ago

[long sky]

Hey Eevee

[dim wharf]

It really sucks ubi is actively killing their raid community

[long sky]

Hey Raucey , yes they are

Now your going to be clan based only

[warm wren]

for the record this is not a decision made by any of the moderation team.

[weak elbow]

You guys get a ‘get out of jail free card’ then. But it’s still a horrible decision that ruins an active community in this discord. Might be worth passing that to the higher ups.

[warm wren]

I am trying to get them to rethink it but it doesnt seem like it will do much.

[solemn flame]

I hardly see more than one or two VC’s active at any given time?….

[weak elbow]

Thank you for the effort tho. It’s nice to see you guys try 🙂

[long sky]

hell 5 for each 5 for dh 5 for ih 5 for countdown 10 for decent /general gaming

[solemn flame]

Currently see 2….

[long sky]

I was thinking instead of getting rid of them

[terse copper]

does anyone run with newer player, wanna get the EB, but never ran the raid

[vapid briar]

You don't seem to get the point, though. It's not about the amount of channels or how many of them are populated at the same time. It's about the fact that this server is supposed to be a one-stop-shop for everything Division 2. I don't know how it is on PS, but on PC the ingame voice quality is abysmal, so that's not really gonna be a good substitute. Getting rid of the voice channels will add another unnecessary layer of annoyance to the whole thing because now people will have to either friend each other on Discord and create a private group call or collectively join one of the group members' own Discord server.

[solemn flame]

My point is that since it seems to be only used by a few, then maybe they don’t want to continue supporting it. Game chat on PlayStation is garbage as well, but we have the PlayStation parties to use for up to 16 people.

[pseudo badger]

usually around <t:1686510000:t> it tends to be most populated

[snow steppe]

For having like 50k plus members and having like a couple of channels in use at any given time does beg the question, why

[lapis parrot]

Most people have clan discords or places they hangout with friends already. I only ever join VC in this discord to run lfg raids and that's probably true for almost everyone.

[snow steppe]

Exactly, which is why i dont really understand removeing VCs, as if the in game audio is somehow recorded etc?

[shell seal]

Bit fucking stupid right

[lapis parrot]

Yeah, it's not like they are responsible for what's said in VC but I understand that it's hard to moderate and prove if rules were broken. They had three choices, figure out how to moderate it and take up cost and resources, say hey VC is here but won't be moderated and is at your own risk, or just get rid of it. They went the easy option. Don't worry man plenty of other LFG discords.

[glad sable]

Can the Mods/admins atleast post a link to the unofficial Div discord for evryone?!?!

[weak elbow]

But i wonder why they issue it now, after 4 years of gameplay... what has changed?

[lucid vale]

I think something going on with raid group ? if raid voice channel remove why the other group voice still there?

[shell seal]

Generally moderation of voice was and has always been up to the players discretion, dont like what someone has to say? Block them...

[weak elbow]

officials supporting something unofficial, never gonna happen lol

[weak elbow]

or leave.

[runic whale]

True or mute them, or just dont join

[shell seal]

These new age people just want to control everything.

[runic whale]

I only joined here, as I dont have a group, Well now RIP.

[lucid vale]

People always ask where to join raid? can anyone help me iron horse/dark hour ? And I said just join division 2 discord official...Now raid voice channel gone? HAHA

[lapis parrot]

Well the post said VC so I assume all will go away.

[runic whale]

Well, its been fun,
now we count down the days.

[lapis parrot]

Yep we'll all just go to unmoderated and dirty discords for our fix now....

[shell seal]

the LFR channels just got Thanos'd

[weak elbow]

Should we make a dedicated raid server?

[runic whale]

I guess

[weak elbow]

pass server invites around to those intereseted?

[shell seal]

there is most likely some that are already established

[weak elbow]

there are a few clans

but like a server that picks up that gap that this one leaves behind...

[lapis parrot]

There is "The Division" the unofficial server.

I guess it used to be the go to before this one was created.

[shell seal]

you in that 1?

[spice pendant]

the community one has raid vc's too i think

[glad sable]

DM me if you want the OG LFG server

[empty notch]

Out of curiosity why is only Raid Voice chats removed but not Group voice chats since they both cant be moderated right ?

[elder folio]

We must control everything and how you play

[dim wharf]

They are all being deleted

Seems they were waiting for them to empty to remove them

[empty notch]

Ah ok ok

[icy hull]

See #discord-news

[weak elbow]

someone volunteering to permanently occupy one 😉

[lapis parrot]

Any insight or things you can share with us beyond that post? Or even personal opinion?

[elder folio]

o7, gonna miss all the fun talks in raid vc

genuinely havent met a toxic person on there

[weak elbow]

There are a few, nothing to lie about, every online gaming community has those. And sometimes good people are just having a bad day..

[glad sable]

.

[icy hull]

TLDR: Hate the change, we are fighting it but its seems to be a management decision (so above the devs)

[lapis parrot]

I appreciate the response. Also ouch.

[plain quartz]

Can I dm you for raid invite seems like the only way to join 🤓

[valid herald]

send send pls

[lapis parrot]

Seems to be some protesters in group voice 10... Maybe their display names will give hints to a thing to LFG.

[valid herald]

just a invite to the first Div server

[lunar warren]

I just love it when management takes a decision and a group of players trying to discuss(useless thing) ,the group of players already jumped in to old discord like good old law abiding citizen and didn't even ad message anywhere starts doing there daily routine raid by inviting from there friend list.its matter of new or inexperienced player trying to do raid and ubisoft been trying attract new player base. Now good luck with new players trying to do raid ,!spoiler! They gonna get exploited by some server other than old official one

[elder folio]

lets not ask the players and let us decide for them

[runic whale]

Any other division community which regularly does raid?

[muted horizon]

There's an unofficial server for div that you can find very easily if you google it. just lookup "thedivision" discord. It's the other big one.

[quasi epoch]

B1-WipeSquad if you look it up on google they have an active discord with daily raids

[safe pulsar]

There is discord server for raids? Voice channels?

[quasi epoch]

Yes B1-WipeSquad

[safe pulsar]

Can’t join

[obsidian yarrow]

@safe pulsar thedivision discord

[safe pulsar]

Hey Fearlxss

where do i get ironwork base materials?

[swift peak]

iron horse key boxes

[proven ocean]

i already got 34 today, do i need to wait a week to get more?

[signal basin]

Can do another character to get more as the mats can share. Otherwise, yeah, you’ll need to wait

[rotund gust]

If I already completed the raid can I still get the part for the reg on my 2nd time or do I got to wait till reset

[long sky]

Gotta wait

Till next Tuesday

[rotund gust]

[chilly gate]

I’m not sure if I should be asking here, but I’m having a lotta trouble with the Outcasts stronghold, I can make it through most of it but the last part I can’t make it past, could I get some help? (I’m on PlayStation)

[solemn flame]

#lfg-playstation this channel is for raid discussion

[chilly gate]

Alr thanks

[plush condor]

So, I got 7 of my friends to get into the game for the goal of doing the raids. Is there a guide on what builds are needed going in that doesnt spoil any mechanics? Or is there a rule of thumb I can set each person up with? I can set them up with dps builds and what not, and I have a tardigrade build as well as a skill build, but is there anything truly required?

Are there raid specific builds that are needed or can meta dps builds do the job

[hot jolt]

For the most part, the latter

The former is in certain areas/encounters

[long sky]

Hey Buddha

@plush condor if your doing DH for the most part it'll be dps ,healer/jammer and a tank for 1 boss (airplane). Make shure you have 2 crossbows and 2 grenade launchers . Note: shoot chungas in ass

Watch lots o YouTube videos

[honest cove]

that’s always my fav shooting chungas ass off

[dim wharf]

Check the pinned Google doc in the build advice channel. All 8 of you should have a DPS build, generally the standard HE version, but strikers can work and is easier to put together. In addition to that someone should have a healer build, a couple of you should have a tank build, and one person should have a hard wire jammer build.

[plush condor]

gotcha, ill get those builds set up

[long sky]

Hey Raucey

[still mica]

do division raids actually have mechanics or can you go in n just shoot shit

[warm wren]

they actually have mechanics

[muted horizon]

@valid mantle They've been removed, as per #discord-news

[valid mantle]

oh ok then

[last zephyr]

Iron horse moreso than dark hours, but both have mechanics yes

[haughty wagon]

Both have mechanics ih moreso however they both have them

[nimble halo]

are there any good information sources on the raids so i can try and learn some stuff before hopping into a raid

[ashen scaffold]

Youtube

[nimble halo]

anything in specific?

[ashen scaffold]

not sure. its best to just look for a group or clan that are willing to teach or carry newer players.

[dim wharf]

Sharkie has the best IH guide out there imo

[plush condor]

how long would a dark hours raid take for a group who doesnt look up guides before hand?

we're relatively not stupid lol

[ashen scaffold]

1-2hr or never probably as most struggle with boomer and razorback

[plush condor]

lol here's hoping

[ashen scaffold]

I would use a guide or bring someone willing to show the rope has dh is pretty striaght forward raid with not so complicated mechanics

[plush condor]

i know a random amount of the raid (all of boomer mechanics, the elevator section, buddy and lucys health bar, and razorback's drones), but theyve shown interest in trying to do it blind so were gonna try that, but ill be ready with a guide nearby incase

at worst we can do research and come back

[mortal plinth]

Do i need to do raid school before i could enter Normal raids?

[dim wharf]

Just have a DPS build ready to go and let people know your new and need an explanation. As long as your upfront about it most people have no issues taking new people through.

[mortal plinth]

Yeah thats what i thought and even prepared for it. But my clan ditched me saying i need to do it once on discovery or go to a raidschool before they could take me to a Normal raid.
They told me that minutes before the raid was about to happen so i got replaced 🤣

Thanks dude.

[dim wharf]

Personally I wouldn't even recommend doing discovery since it will just teach bad habits and the wrong mechanics, but I guess clans can impose whatever rules they want even if they are dumb and don't make sense. Idk exactly what they mean by "raid school" but it sounds like they might have scheduled runs for experienced people and teaching runs, and they just want to do a dedicated teaching run first, but I don't know anything about your clan. I was just talking about lfgs before.

[mortal plinth]

Yup thats exactly what the raid school was for. But it just consfused me that it wasnt discussed to me properly, they even listed me as a "new" player and i had hoped all was settled. But its fine, just sucks.

[pearl hemlock]

The heck is raid school? People out here testing people on their knowledge of raids? 🤣🤣🤣

[warm wren]

Raid school is a semi-popular concept in MMORPGs.

[pearl hemlock]

Yea but for this game? People actually have a raid school?

[warm wren]

I've not seen "Raid School" myself, but i've seen teaching raids.

[pearl hemlock]

Ok I was just wondering

[solemn flame]

I joined a speed run academy a couple years ago. That’s how I got sub 25 on iron horse. Great bunch of guys too…

[lost comet]

I'm curious, can the green gear sets (Striker, Negotiator's, etc) be worn for raids? I felt like all raid builds always use normal brands. Are the green sets' bonus perks not worth it in raids?

[dim wharf]

Yeah they can be used for sure. In some situations strikers and nego can be optimal, but high end builds are just the standard because they work everywhere and are simple to run. That way your focused on the raid and not thinking about building stacks or whatever the gearsets needs

[limber elk]

for IH, regulus project, everything dropped except mainframe... guess I have to wait for the next rotation

[solemn flame]

Did you open the crate at the end?

[limber elk]

aye

[limber elk]

it's the loot that's supposed to drop from the first boss-main frame

[long sky]

Just run the raid again and get it

[lost comet]

Is there a set amount of damage that can be called 'good damage' in raids? My crit damage reached 543k-572k on the body, and 681k-710k on the head. (Firing range)

I just don't want to be a burden when I'm finally participating in raids

[azure pebble]

Damage per shot (especially just per crit) doesn't really mean anything unless we also know the damage per non-crit, the rpm and so on.

[vagrant basin]

it sounds good enough, try your best to stay alive so you can apply the damage consistently too

[azure pebble]

700k with a famas is good, 700k with a white death isn't

[lost comet]

I see, I see...

St. Elmo Engine... so 900~ish fire rate, with 54/56% ChC and 156% ChD (I forgot, not in-game atm) and I'm wearing Coyote. Basic damage should be around 200k~ish

[solemn flame]

Supposed to be a “fresh run”, he might have to wait. I missed going back to Fieser (forgot) and had to wait till next reset…. Not sure what happens if it doesn’t drop at all….

[muted horizon]

@scenic lynx The VC channels were removed as per #discord-news. other servers or private calls are your best bet now.

[grave grove]

What would be the minimum requirement for dark hours? Like shd, builds.. Etc

[dim wharf]

Shd doesn't matter, rule of thumb is to have a DPS build ready with ideally over 50% chc, 150% chd, but that's not a hard and fast rule

[ashen scaffold]

"Fixed the issue where the first shutter door remains open when the Raid Leader resets the Raid during the door opening sequence".

Ok then.

[vague osprey]

When it will be fixed by servers. From nova, the Glitchers dropped the servers. It's been 3 days. On Europe, the ping is red - yellow. It is impossible to play out of sync.

[muted horizon]

I have no idea what half of that means, but if you have questions about the technical aspects of the game, you are best asking Ubisoft themselves via a support ticket.
The mod team are not devs, just volunteers.

[lunar hull]

Yay

[plush condor]

what difficulty is dark hours based on? challenging or heroic? Or hard?

[odd bone]

Heroic was the hardest difficulty when it released

[open swift]

Yes was

And legendary is now hardest

[raw sonnet]

normal i think ? but since you are 8 enemy hp and damage scales a bit i think

[signal mirage]

Its normal technically but with scaling the hp of enemies is around the same as heroic

[plush condor]

good to know, Im getting my friends raid ready and needed a difficulty point to get them to

[covert storm]

does any1 have a link to new raid voice channel discord?

[dim wharf]

Most people have just moved back to the old community "The Division" server

[covert storm]

ah okay, i will check that out then. thx

[rotund gust]

The 2nd in ih boss didn't drop the exotic component for the regules gun do I have to kill the first boss for them to spawn as i joined a random lobby

[swift peak]

Has to be your first run of the week on Normal difficulty, that might be the problem (but you'll want to start from the beginning anyway since you need one piece from every boss)

[rotund gust]

Yea it is my first run but idk what the difficulty was as well I joined as the 2nd boss died got the loot but not the part

[swift peak]

If you joined via matchmaking ingame then it wasn't Normal difficulty

[raw sonnet]

Normal mode doesn't have match making

Only discovery

[rotund gust]

Ah so I can still get it

[raw sonnet]

Ye but you have to lfg outside the game

[rotund gust]

Am OK with that

[raw sonnet]

Then gl and have fun

[lost pike]

And the keys for the last chest in IH aslo appear only on Normal?

[raw sonnet]

ye

[lost pike]

Oh, then that's the problem for me, but thank you for the answer

[tender hollow]

Hi does anyone know how I can find a raid group for dark hours so I can get the eagle bearer I've done the raid before but was not good at it I want to test myself again and idk what to do

[raw sonnet]

Youll have better chances in lfg channels

[swift peak]

xbox players tend to use the xbox built in matchfinding software I think, although you can check #lfg-raid-console too

[long sky]

Hey Kettle

[swift peak]

Hey Saph

[plush condor]

what weapons are good for dps in dark hours? is the famas fine or something like kingbreaker? or should we be bringing in LMG's

[azure pebble]

Lmgs are kinda mediocre. Generally speaking, good allrounders are Police M4, Famas, Carbine 7 and most other ARs. The M1a Classic is a beast and you can never go wrong with a scorpio for close distances for add control.

[red wadi]

How does one get into a raid

[lost comet]

Out of curiousity, can the boomers in the last boss fight in DH be stunned? They want to type something right, can they be stopped with riot foam, banshee, or Scorpio?

[azure pebble]

They can't be stopped. Very rarely when you apply a status effect that stops them, they actually teleport to the console to complete their path

[azure pebble]

Look at the lfg channel of this, or any other server and either wait for people to build one, or build one yourself. Just try to get 8 people together, and maybe have some people who know the raids in there.

[raw sonnet]

also make sure you know how the raid work before going in

[azure pebble]

You don't need to though. If you have someone with experience, they can explain, or if you got a team that's down for it, you can figure it out for yourself if you want to.

[raw sonnet]

if you wanna figure it out, plan to have the whole day taken cause its clearly not easy

[azure pebble]

Yea, but there can be fun in that. If you're just after exotics or completions though, there are plenty of resources you can use to make it easier

[solemn flame]

Shouldn’t take more than 1.5 to 2 hours. Most groups can easily run it in 45 minutes with one or two new players. Just be sure to have a strong all red dps build for your first few runs. @red wadi

[raw sonnet]

If youre à first timer group then no, it gonna take à while

[dim wharf]

1.5-2 hours is a reasonable "awhile" time

[lunar hull]

It's quicker than it was pre-wony

[foggy monolith]

if your a firsttimer dont lie and say you know what to do when you dont it just causes problems

[hasty marlin]

anybody got the list of meta builds for Iron Horse?

[lunar hull]

Just make a regular dps build if you don't fully understand all mechanics

[muted horizon]

@floral geyser They were removed as per #discord-news

[hasty marlin]

i mean i understand the basic of the whole raid

not the speed run strats but the rest i manage

[lunar hull]

So you can run control room or diagnostics?

[hasty marlin]

yes

[lunar hull]

Ok

[hasty marlin]

did some healer runs on control rooms

[lunar hull]

I run 3 eclipse / belstone with ad rush / pointman / emperors guard

[hasty marlin]

diagnostics is not fully im my grasp but i understand it

[long sky]

4pc fi alps bp and btsu gloves. This is standard healer build

Bp has safeguard on it

Hey Eevee

[little escarp]

Are people running heartbreaker on DH?

[dim wharf]

It's not the ideal build but it can work

[lost comet]

is Elmo not preferable in Raids?

A guy in the raid I'm participating in said 'So that's why we're having trouble with Boomer. You had the shock rifle'

[dim wharf]

There's a strategy which involves hitting him with shock (traditionally done with Scorpio) at the right time to down him twice in a row, but if someone shocks him early it will mess it up

Only other boss to watch out for is using it on marazova when you turn her back, it can make her zip back and start the wipe mechanic before people are expecting it.

[lost comet]

I see. Then I'll rebuild my build for my FAL instead

[little escarp]

I already have a St.Elmo build with Shocker punch, when do I knock Boomer down

[long sky]

its not really a knock down its a stun, and its as split second before he becomes immune

this way the gunner can get a 2nd bite at the apple

[dim wharf]

Normally it's just done once with the Scorpio, but if you alternate you can do this

https://youtu.be/Baj3GWA-YTE

[plush condor]

I have 38/40 for ironworks base materials, are those locked out weekly or can i kill the first boss to finish that

[solemn flame]

Once per week, per character

[plush condor]

so next week if i kill gray, and then finish the projects, can i still get regulus that week or will grey be locked out for another week?

[solemn flame]

For parts to drop, you need to complete both projects, and it has to be a fresh run after reset (first run of the week). Just run with another character ( move builds through stash) and complete the projects this week. Then parts will drop on Tuesday.

[plush condor]

yeah i was trying to avoid making another character, but if thats the only way ill just get it over with

[dim wharf]

It's either you spend a few hours making a second character (worth it anyways imo if you don't have one) or you'll get the regulus one week later.

[long sky]

I'd wait get all the stuff you can then run next week

[north rapids]

The worst part is actually getting so close with the materials that you'd think oh I can just go there and get the 2 missing ones
.. Couldn't they have done it such that you get 20 in a run such that it's obvious that you need to wait another week

[slow cairn]

All exotics in the game are locked behind equally inconvenient things such as bad RNG, time consuming projects, or season tracks. The effort to obtain a Regulus is no worse than any other exotic. 🤷‍♀️ Having second character can make obtaining the Regulus a little easier, and having a second character is a good idea even if it's just used as a mule.

[fallen ether]

what are some good builds to have to be ready for the DH raid?

[swift peak]

Full red dps is the main one usable throughout both raids, other builds are mostly specialist roles that require good raid knowledge

[wicked patio]

^
Full red build are the go-to if you're new, if you learn a bit about the raid mechanics then you can make specialist builds for it

[long sky]

easiest ones are liberty pistol, regulus, chatterbox, dodge city holster,the 2 from summit. one of the big pains is the nemisis

[solemn flame]

???

[long sky]

they were making reference to how hard getting the regulus was

Hey Buddha

[solemn flame]

And you listed it as one of the easiest?

[long sky]

in the beginning it was a pain in azz, but now it rather easy

[shut quiver]

Hi, when you say full red, how much armor are u also expecting? newbie here so i have no valid benchmark

Thanks in advance

[wicked patio]

Am not certain.. but it's around 700k if you have all reds

Or more, am not sure

But it's definitely below 1 million

Thing is, all reds mean you only have the base armor of your gear

[solemn flame]

All core and secondary attributes are “red”… that’s why they call it all red.

[shut quiver]

I see, i see.

[remote idol]

What's the basic rundown of diagnostics

[lunar hull]

Of what?

Oh nvm lmao

Hit panel people do stuff you jump when you hear sirens rinse repeat 3 times

[remote idol]

That's it?

[lunar hull]

Then second phase is uh

[remote idol]

Ahh

[lunar hull]

You turn valves a certain number of audible clicks

Someone should put numbers in chat or something prior to starting

[remote idol]

I've done a bit of valve stuff as a runner but never actually diag

[lunar hull]

And then third phase is you look at a screen and scream at people to turn the pressure down or up

And then get pissed off at the one person who turned bravo when they didn't fucking need to

That's basically as dumbed down as I can make it lol

[remote idol]

💀💀

[lunar hull]

But that's basically it

Do nothing phase, listen to clicks phase, scream at people phase

[remote idol]

I'll get a build together and try that lol

[lunar hull]

If you want a really good build, cav actually is kinda designed for this if you play your cards right

[remote idol]

Yeah one of the guys runs cavalier for the hazpro and all that

[lunar hull]

Helps with the foamy fucks

[lunar hull]

4 cav with hazpro alone is 80 hazpro

I think

Yeah I math correctly

[remote idol]

Yeah you can get full team immunity when charged I believe

[lunar hull]

What I do is

4 cav + bp

Then you can run pointman and chill out if you have one

Or pointman and emperors guard

[lunar hull]

For best hazpro uptime run backpack

But NOT WITH CHEST

[remote idol]

Is the chest shit

[lunar hull]

It increases max from 50% skill reduction to 70

So it takes 7 seconds to charge up compared to 5

[remote idol]

Pretty useless then probably

[lunar hull]

Backpack gives 10% per second compared to 5

So the uptime is 10 seconds every 5

[lunar hull]

Yeah

[shut quiver]

New here, when asking for raid, does anyone need to inform region or something? Not sure if it matters for network (I am based in Asia).

[remote idol]

Not really

[shut quiver]

alrighty, thanks.

[plush condor]

Are you able to get all 5 keys in one run of DH? Or is the final one RNG based

[dim wharf]

Final is guaranteed each time you finish

So not just once a week either

[plush condor]

Oh nice, ill be doin my first run today so just prepping

[raw sonnet]

if you want to farm the raid you can et 5 key first run of the week then 1 key per run until next week

[plush condor]

for boomer, what laptops do you hit?

some are red some are blue?

do you do red or blue

[signal basin]

Someone will call out A,B,C or D

[plush condor]

we got it, its the blue ones

[plush condor]

if you get the raid exotic does it go into your general loot pool? or is it only a raid drop

[foggy monolith]

EB and ravenous can be obtained via DZ the only raid exotic that's not in the loot pool is the regulus as it is a raid project exclusive

[solemn flame]

Well EB and ravenous are also not in the “loot pool”, DZ is the only other place (other than raid) that they have a very low chance to drop….

[long sky]

You have a better chance getting the eb and ravenous given to you than in the dz

[solemn flame]

There are new people that might misunderstand that statement….. prolly want to clarify that your talking about after completing the raids….

[long sky]

If you try for the eb or ravenous in the the dz the percentage is .001% if you do the raid the percentage is 10% and if you let those you are raiding with that you are looking for either one ,there's a good probability that they'll just give it to you. Or if more than one person is looking in group have rock,paper, sisorrs ready

[lunar hull]

.072%*

[mental pond]

also has anyone see regulus drop in DZ?

[swift peak]

doubt, given regulus was never added to the DZ loot pool (just bighorn, eagle bearer and ravenous)

[mental pond]

I see I thought they added regulus too for bighorn legendary content is better no one to steal it

same with eb/ravenous

[swift peak]

yeah pretty much everyone agrees legendaries/raids are the easier & less toxic way to get them

[mental pond]

it strikes a bit comical sometimes when someone share loot in lz and kills you in dz and take your loot

[frigid wadi]

well thats the way of dz

not saying its a good thing but yeah

remember getting almost full classfied predator back in d1 on extraction, there was a fight between 2 teams of 2, they fought, ive conquered 😉

sneaky stabbin 😄

[mental pond]

I sneakily extracted few classified gear from dz

with nomad 😂 😂

[elder spear]

Is there anyone willing to help me on ps5? I just came from pc and would like to get my regulus back from the raid. I only have a dps build started atm not super built yet.

[lost comet]

Do raid keys expire?

[dim wharf]

No

[lost comet]

Okay, thanks

[strange field]

Is there any website or google doc that covers speedrun strats for ironhorse?

[mental pond]

yup speedrunners official website is there

[strange field]

Cheers!

[uncut belfry]

anyone down to run dark hours ive got 3 rn

[hardy cedar]

Hello, I've kinda just came back to this game and im level 24. I was wondering on how to get in a raid.

[north rapids]

Get lvl 40 and a standard dps build rdy

[paper belfry]

depends, if you join randoms via mm or via global, they most likely won't kick you even if your build is dog, since the chance of getting 8 people is slim.. if you join a guild, most specifiy wha tbuilds to have or a preset role/build.

the safest build for raids, is basically a striker build (with backpack/chest being strikers too for talents) because it's long term damage output it better than most and it's quite easy to get and maintain stacks

[azure pebble]

For a strikers build for raids I would recommend a ceska or grupo chest with obliterate razher than the striker chest. You'll pretty rarely get above 100 stacks, so strikers chest is kind of a waste of a talent imo. It's really good on the dogs (or rb) when combined with acs to get stacks. But for general dps and ad clear, a chest talent like glass cannon or obliterate will serve you better (or spotter but it can kind of mess with achilles pulses by hiding the boxes)

[lunar hull]

Depends on the boss. All DH bosses you can stack max striker on, as well as IH 1 and 4

[azure pebble]

Maxing it on moro is kind of pointless tbh. Boomer also relies more on burst rather than sustained dps. And for everything ad clear related (which is most of the raids) the stacks fall off too fast for striker chest to beat a high end chest imo.

[hoary dove]

would a striker build without a ceska oblirate chest piece, survive IH?

[azure pebble]

absolutely

Slap a scorpio on it maybe, for some of the positions where you are close to doors, and then a fast firing AR, for example a Famas and it can definitely get you through one, If you're concerned about survivability, then try running demolitionist aswell to be able to ignore and explosion every 60 seconds.

If you don't want to run ceska obliterate, you can run grupo, fenris, or even walker and harris and spotter, unbreakable or glass cannon as the talent. You can also run the chest, but again it's probably be a worse choice than a high end chest in most situations.

[hoary dove]

👌

[lunar hull]

The IH not morozova

Also the stacks don't fall off too quick, hell I even keep a constant max stacks at countdown too

[hoary dove]

how long does the average IH take?

[long sky]

45 min to 1hr

[mental pond]

hi saph

[long sky]

Unless you got a crappy team then upwards of 3 hrs

@mental pond I see just now saying hi😱🤣👋

[mental pond]

i must have went to sleep😂

just woke up

[hoary dove]

eepy boy

[lunar hull]

with a new player id say closer to 1 hour to 1:30

[solemn flame]

Depends on the new player and weather they can follow directions and have a solid dps build or not….

[ashen scaffold]

Well its more if they have a good enough group to carry the newer player so 45min - 1:30.

[solemn flame]

Both

[lunar hull]

or how descriptive you are explaining to the new member

theres a difference between explaining the mechanics and saying "follow the healer"

[hasty marlin]

What builds are used for stagger, key and furnance tank in IH? Im familiar with the raid as a dps and healer but wanna learn more roles

[ashen scaffold]

#td2-build-advice pinned comment

[hasty marlin]

Ok ok didnt know but ty

[lunar hull]

to put it simply, hazpro tank for boss 2/3, and regular tank for 4

i said "to put it simply" because there is very slight variation

[dim wharf]

I'm normally diagnostics and keytank

[hoary dove]

What's the most active time for this server to have raids?

[lunar hull]

Between 12am and 11:59pm

[long sky]

Basically all day but if your looking forba raid voice channels you need the other div 2

[next slate]

Anyone want to do a raid dark hours to be precise?

[ashen scaffold]

#lfg-raid-console

[strange field]

When tanking fieser, how much health does his weakpoint have when he initiates the wipe mechanic?

[lethal sequoia]

I need a IH clear! Ps5

[lunar hull]

idk the number but enough to get by with just a dodge city and a few extra shots

[strange field]

I’m trying to see what I may need not to use dodge city 🥺

[lunar hull]

dodge city is the best way to do it

otherwise youd be running dps not tank lol

[strange field]

Like what if I use hollowman for the dth… if I knew the actual number to hit I could figure something out I think.

[lunar hull]

but i dont know the number

[azure pebble]

I don't know the exact number but it's 5-7 million. You can do it with a rock and roll aswell, especially if you run a red core and 1 or 2 red attributes.

I did it with the rock and roll for a while but he as an awkward tendency to spin towards you which makes it hard to hit the weakpoint.

[strange field]

Thanks!

[burnt prism]

Hey, I'm a solo player rn and i wanna try the raids now im in endgame but i dont have anyone to get advice from and all the yt videos out there are about 3 years old. im just completely unsure of what im meant to do and if any gear or build that i have would be appropriate

[dim wharf]

the voice channels in this server were removed, so now we have to use other servers to group up.

This is a guide on your basic raid dps build:
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s588/sh/0d1135cf-139c-394e-53f6-02c1b8b4cea9/2e477c029e8333d52b55d2d99eec4808

[weak heart]

Can you explain how to get all this and what to do?

[dim wharf]

Get the build and how to do the raid?

[weak heart]

Yes

I’ve been trying for two hours to do the dark hours just to get the eagle bearer

[onyx lion]

you can get it from the DZ as well iirc

[weak heart]

Is there a certain dz I need to do to get it or just grind?

[onyx lion]

i don't know, i just remember seeing a youtube video saying that i can drop in the DZ

[weak heart]

Cuz the only exotics I got are lullaby, the spas exotic and the diamondback

[dim wharf]

The build is just down to farming it, countdown ideally the best place, summit if you cant get countdown to work.

as for how to do the raid, just find a group in the lfg chat and let them know your new. the best way to learn is to just have an experianced group teach you.

[burnt prism]

Thank you so much

[solemn flame]

10% chance from raid, 0.0078% chance in DZ

[onyx lion]

the chance in DZ is per enemy? i haven't played in a while so i forget how loot works there

[solemn flame]

Flat rate I believe. Definitely not per enemy though.

[muted horizon]

@heavy sinew You're looking for #lfg-xbox

[grim sapphire]

y i cant see any voice channels

for raid

[swift peak]

They were removed, most people use the community discord now for VCs

[hoary dove]

how do i prepare to do IH 5 times in one day?

[dim wharf]

What do you mean?

[hoary dove]

gotta kill finnal boss 5 times for five keys to open finnal box for revolver part(s)

[dim wharf]

Killing the final boss 5 times will get you 5 keys, but where are you in the progression of the regulus projects?

[hoary dove]

getting last gear peice rn

then ill be onto crafting

[dim wharf]

Ok, so you got the exotic parts from all the other bosses?

[hoary dove]

no

now im on the exotic parts

[dim wharf]

Have you run the raid already this week? It just reset today

[hoary dove]

yep, first thing in the morning

[dim wharf]

Ok, so then you'll need to wait until the next reset to get your exotic parts for the regulus (assuming that run this morning didn't get you them)

[hoary dove]

god. fucking. damnit.

[dim wharf]

So don't stress about trying to open the box again. It'll get you 1 part, but you'll still be missing all of the others

[hoary dove]

welp. guess i gotta learn dark hour.

[long sky]

Dark hours is easy lots and lots o dps

[oblique hamlet]

darks hours ?

[lost comet]

Is a High-end SMG build be viable in raids?

[muted horizon]

If we're using viable to literally mean "possible to use in that situation", then yes.
If you mean will it work as well as an AR setup, the answer is likely: no.

[azure pebble]

Depends. Smg have pretty good burst, so they can be really good at dealing damage up close but will not be as useful at medium ranges. Throughout the raids there will be instances of enemies being further away, so smgs won't be as versatile as ARs or rifles. However in certain situations smgs will beat ARs damage wise. For example I've started running an mpx on the dogs or to kite boomer since that's where you're up really close.

[lost comet]

Hm... So ARs still the top ones... Good to know

[azure pebble]

I'd argue that the m1as beat ARs in most situations

M1a classic will out dps and also get the set bonus from foxes prayer (which most have on their build). It also has longer range and high accuracy and stability.

And the M1a cqb will annihilate anything close to you.

In the end it's personal preference. Because of expertise and tons of fancy stuff that's been added, you won't be hurting for damage provided you put a little effort into making a build.

[lunar hull]

Rifle can't keep up striker

That's my argument

[azure pebble]

They specifically asked about high-end builds

[lunar hull]

Sorry my bad lol

Yeah for HE, rifles hit hard as hell

[fallen berry]

What build should I be putting together for the Dark Hours Raid?

[muted horizon]

@fallen berry There's a link over in #td2-build-advice that's 📌 pinned, it's a spreadsheet. Go to the builds tab and make the one called "standard red dps".

[fallen berry]

Thanks

how does head hunter work on morozova?

heard about the strat but can't find a guide on it anywhere

[ashen scaffold]

Sniping the chunga when he leaves the train before hitting the ground.

[kind token]

the strat is called Full Faraday there are youtube videos on it.

[shut quiver]

Hi, I would like to ask about Iron Horse. For the ironworks base material , can you get this in discovery mode? Thanks.

[dim wharf]

no you cant @shut quiver

[shut quiver]

ok, understood. Thank you.

[dapper solar]

if i still needed EB or the other DH exotics, would i just run the raid a bunch of times and ask someone to drop a spare?

or would that be too moochy

[icy hull]

yes, thats the fastest way to get the Raid exos still.

also EB only exo exclusive to DH.
Rav and Reg are the ones for IH.

[azure pebble]

Other DH exotics?

[icy hull]

there are no other DH exos

see my message above

[dapper solar]

Yea i thought there were more than just EB in the first raid

[muted horizon]

Technically there are the Blueprints from the bosses too, and the backpack/chest for 2 Gearsets used to be as well.

but no Exotics, no.

[foggy monolith]

But now EB and ravenous can be found in DZ but the drop rate is low the only raid weapon that is locked behind IH and most likely will never be added to DZ or open world lootpool is the regulus

[muted horizon]

Even if it was added, it would still require a Project, making it somewhat redundant.

[foggy monolith]

Keep the most powerful pistol locked behind a raid and project makes it worth something if everyone had it you wouldn't feel satisfied cause you got it from a open world boss or DZ drop

Instead of putting in the time and effort to unlock the regulus

I'd rather much earn something then have it handed out to me on a silver platter

[muted horizon]

No one was arguing in favour of having it "handed to us on a silver platter".
Even if it was added to the DZ, the drop rate on the EB/Ravenous is so amazingly low that it's genuinely not worth farming for within.

[grave fiber]

I wish the project didn't need a replica Magnum.

I'm tired of farming control points. I feel like everything else I did with running the raid would be enough.

[spiral tulip]

Trick is don't let the game know what you are farming for pretend to farm for something else it will drop then

[muted horizon]

On the plus side, once you have finished the CP farm you can't possibly miss it.
Gotta love them limited loot pools.

[dim wharf]

I don't think it does?

[grave fiber]

It doesn't give it to me that's my complaint. After doing all the projects I still have to grind control points or summit.

It's nice that it's at least guaranteed eventually but damn if I'm not tired of spamming control points.

[dim wharf]

I'm saying I'm pretty sure you just need a HE magnum (of the right type, there's 2 and you need the silver one), you don't need a crafted one

[grave fiber]

I swear to God I tried using a regular police Magnum.

I mean if I'm a schizo that's cool I just want my exotic already.

[simple hill]

you need a crafted after the update

[jagged belfry]

How many blueprints out of total do you have atm?

[grave fiber]

Around 300.

[jagged belfry]

So good news for you its just around 15 CPs to farm left for you. At 315 (+/- few) your cp blueprints pool would be exhausted.

[grave fiber]

That's cool.

[red jewel]

i'm not clear about the codes in IH yet

[grave fiber]

But holy fuck man

[slow cairn]

Which codes in IH can we help demystify?

[red jewel]

cups

[tulip lily]

All codes are cups of one variety or another. They can be filled/white, or empty/black. They can be paired, cracked, moving with an arrow, and on either a conveyor belt or a hook.

[dry copper]

@grave fiber just craft one

[slow cairn]

I can't post pics in this channel, but would be happy to DM you code images if you want.

The goal of the Fieser fight is to destroy the cannon in the boss pit by pouring molten iron (aka lava) on it then quick cooling it with water to destroy it. Correct codes fill the crucible (aka cup) with the lava, then the person in the control room moves the lava towards the cannon and pours it, and the tank in the room with Fieser sprays the water.

The tank reads an error code to the control room such as "P # 5". The control room person views 6 tv screens to find the matching error code (P#5 is tv screen 2), then calls out the cup symbol on the matching screen, such as "black up on a hook". If the tank has memorized which code goes with which tv screen, they can just tell control room "screen 2". The cups have formal names according to the Sandforge Symbols poster in the control room such as "Filled Crucible on a conveyor belt". But for simplicity, control room will describe that he sees ("white cup on a belt"). White/black describes how the top of the cup looks. A broken/cracked cup is a crack in the side of the cup. The cups might be on a hook or belt. There might be an arrow. There might be 2 cups.

There's lots of time for the downstairs people to carefully look at their codes and deternine if they have the correct code. The side with the correct code then shoots the corresponding red box. You can tell which yellow wifi screen goes with which red box, as they'll be connected by yellow cables.

[grave fiber]

Yes that's the problem. I was farming blueprints because you NEED a crafted one.

[dry copper]

I see

[red jewel]

Thanks for reply. You said "the tank reads an error code", that Tank is the Boss in the center room or a player in Tank build? It would be much clearer in guided tour inside, even youtube stuffs are pretty unclear. And in the big hall with a big tower at center either, to know the holes from which lava flows are really complicated.

[livid spear]

player in tank build

[north rapids]

Why would the Boss read something to the control room player

[slow cairn]

Player wearing a tank build.

There are a couple of IH written guides floating around out there. Most IH written or Youtube guides are a bit outdated in terms of strategies. But they should give a basic idea of mechanics.

Pictures with words (almost looks like a slide show) https://imgur.io/a/EhOorKZ

Words with diagrams and pics, author writes from speedrun perspective: https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1tYD9oo9fruKnvwg4TwSYCTu1LVOUaaQn7PrUiKGn5Sg/mobilebasic#heading=h.pkgmilr95pxn

Reddit text guide with builds
https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/hwonrx/ironhorse_text_guide_with_builds/

Everyone learns differently, but the general consensus is that the best way to learn raid mechanics and roles is to have an experienced group show you. There are some groups who will try to complete the raid using Youtube or written guides, which is challenging and will take lots of practice. But it's satisfying to be able to say you fumbled through it.

Good luck!

Yeh, my bad. Rookie idea, ain't it? I got confused with the word " the", " the tank".

De nada. Peruse those guides and come back to see us if you still have questions about the lava rivers on Williams (or any other questions!)

[grim plinth]

With raids can you only do them at certain times or are they always available

[azure pebble]

They are always available

[lunar hull]

Always available but the keys can only be unlocked once per week (minus the keys obtained via killing the last boss)

[rotund nova]

Heyo! I just done all the Iron Horse blueprints for both gear sets. If I clear another IH raid will I get the blueprint for regulus?

[solemn flame]

Did you complete the 2 donation projects? If so, when did you complete them?

[rotund nova]

@solemn flame I finished both just now

[solemn flame]

Then you’ll have to wait til Tuesday reset for the parts to drop and get the blueprint. Has to be a fresh (first) run of the week. This assumes that you have run it since this Tuesdays reset.

[rotund nova]

Yeah I ran it yesterday to get the matts. Sigh I was so excited too XD
whelp next tuesday it is. Thanks!

[modern copper]

How did people even figure out how to do the raid in the first place

I guess it’s similar to figuring out a easter egg in cod but still

[lunar hull]

as someone who did IH on release date, having 8 people running around a crammed room helps

[modern copper]

sounds exiting Imaoo

[lunar hull]

randomly click shit then one thing happens and you figure out what you clicked to make it happen

[modern copper]

I have yet to do my first raid

[shell wave]

same

[modern copper]

I tried to do one but everyone was kinda toxic in the raid tbh

[lunar hull]

if you have a bad build that can happen

or if you dont tell people you are new when you are

[modern copper]

Nah I had a DPS build, the guy who started it mentioned we were all new and it still happened

[lunar hull]

some people are like that

get toxic cuz you wipe once on first boss

[rotund nova]

does anyone here have a spread sheet or list of what builds I can run during raids?

I only have one build and its just deeps

[lunar hull]

the regular spreadsheet has some

[rotund nova]

Can you point me where I can find it? I'm pretty new here

[lunar hull]

#td2-build-advice pinned messages

[long sky]

@modern copper when ih first happened we did great on 1st boss then got wrecked for hrs trying to figure out fiser, I finally gave up.

[sly fjord]

Got a question, Does any have have an update iron horse raid guide? Just came from xbox but hadnt played the game for two years. I ran the raid a bunch and have the ravenous on xbox. I watched a few videos and the faster methods have changed. I want to make sure i have all the builds and knowledge before i find a clan and LFG. Thank you for any help and your time

[long sky]

@sly fjord your base red dps of course, fi healer for control tower, hazpro tank,key tank w/technician for Faraday, stagger tank

I forgot the regulus build

And headhunter

[sly fjord]

thank you for the response so the same as it always was when the raid dropped?

[long sky]

yup

[sly fjord]

i was asking because i watched a few new vids and we was not one shottin bosses back in the gap.

[long sky]

theres also a nego build

[sly fjord]

i assumed striker or ui would be the move but i guess the same old all red dps builds

[sly fjord]

i saw that for boomer and the second boss of IH

[long sky]

yup

[dim wharf]

This is the best IH guide out there imo.

[long sky]

Hey Raucey

[icy hull]

cant always get consistantly high stacks up front from strikers and umbra is clunky because of cover mechanic

[long sky]

and there Azurmen32

[sly fjord]

im going to take a look..thank you

[sly fjord]

I guess you are right

[dull niche]

I have 36/40 ironwork base materials can I rerun the raid and get some more or do I have to wait a week to get those specific materials again?

[dim wharf]

You can rerun with another character and those materials will be shared with your main character that you can use to complete the projects.

Otherwise it'll take an extra week to get the regulus.

[dull niche]

Ok thank you

[hot scaffold]

if youre talking about in IH strikers has 3 boss fights where you can build stacks on something, grays shield guys as they come out, the train in feiser, and the train/turret in morozova

can 5 man IH with everyone who is designated dps is on strikers, whilst mechanical roles are still proper mechanical builds

[ashen scaffold]

Realistically, You can only maintain high striker stacks on Gray and Morozova and not really on Feiser unless its open doors (which I have no clue if it was patched or not).

[long sky]

They tried to patch it , and failed

[dim wharf]

Failed? Open doors are gone aren't they?

[haughty wagon]

How long does a playstation/pc raid normally take (dh random people?

[dim wharf]

Anywhere from 20ish-40+ minutes

[haughty wagon]

Yep got my response in general and forgot to take this down

[azure pebble]

Nah, it's been patched since tuesday

[hot scaffold]

They did patch it

Like i said tho, my team can 5 man IH with everyone thats dpsing is on strikers

Even on williams actually, whenever he’s immune you can build striker stacks and with all the ads that spawn consistently its rather easy to maintain, then on the turret weakpoints also easy to build/maintain

[ashen scaffold]

you do you ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[summer trout]

What are some good dps builds for the raids? Been looking and only builds I can find are from 2+ years ago and all basically just say use providence brand with coyote, contractor’s and fox’s. Surely a gear set would be better damage no?

[dim wharf]

The high end providence setup is still one of the best. You don't need to worry about building stacks or anything, you can adjust it as needed easily to fit in coyotes or DCH, it's just really solid overall

A lot of newer players will run strikers, and that's fine, but you'll see most more experienced raiders using the high end setup in most raid situations

[hot scaffold]

Everyone on my raid team has 300+ clears while i have 110 and we all use strikers for dpsing and have little to no issues

Strikers, high end providence setup with coyote mask, both work great

[azure pebble]

In certain situations like dogs for example, striker surpasses high end red in pretty much every way. Other than that they have advantages and disadvantages and you gotta find what suits your playstyle. Both will get you through the raids easily though

[neon ermine]

what happend to the raid channels???

[remote idol]

Removed

[lunar hull]

Removed #discord-news

[cedar leaf]

you'll want #lfg-raid-pc

[tender hollow]

yes pc

[cedar leaf]

lol what i meant is that's the channel you'll want to be posting in since that's where people wanting to raid will be looking

[tender hollow]

ok thank you, don't bother to come and lend a hand

[cedar leaf]

wasn't planning on it anyway but thanks for making that clear lol
p.s. you still haven't posted an ad in the lfg raid channel and there was literally a guy looking for a DH group not more than 20 minutes before you posted here, like, bruh, do you even want to fill your group?

[solemn flame]

Seems he was trying to lend a hand and steer you to the right channel where you would have better luck finding someone to “lend a hand”…. 😂😆🤣

[muted horizon]

@tender hollow No need to be rude. Just post in the right area next time.

[tender hollow]

me rude, whatever come on i'm leaving this server i'm fed up with this group

[north rapids]

What's wrong with these people

[raw sonnet]

they expect everything handed to them and if this doesnt happen its everyone elses fault

[vital grove]

To get regulus, RIH is needed. After that 2 projects'll be unlocked. How 2 complete those 2 projects?

[azure pebble]

By donating all the stuff recquired

[vital grove]

At the girl near crafting station or somewhere else?

[long sky]

@vital grove ok once you do Iron Horse you'll get the project for the regulus. Note: you'll need to run the raid a couple more times gor materials. The Regulus project has 5 parts . Parts 1 and 2 your donating future initiatives gear and bulwark to the lady at the crafting bench. Parts 3 and 4 are miscellaneous gear. Once that is done you'll need to do a FRESH ih raid after Tuesday reset. Defeat the bosses and get your parts ,return to whitehouse and craft weapon

[mental pond]

i think it is at the project menu final project is at table near inaya

[mental pond]

Hi Saph 👀

Hey gogamer

I gave him step by step instructions 😱😱🤣

yeah 😂 🤣

[vital grove]

Thanks man! 😘 😘 😘

[muted horizon]

@cold vale You're looking for #lfg-raid-console to LFG for a Raid, and #td2-clan-recruitment for a clan.

[cold vale]

Smh. I have been told to go here. It's it really that difficult to find people here!?!

[muted horizon]

Then you were told wrong. LFG's go to the LFG channels.
The community server has voice channels and its own LFG if you want to try there.

[cold vale]

Honestly....idk where to try. I'm just looking for active, willing, and helpful people/clan with Ironhorse.

[muted horizon]

daily Reset happens in roughly 20 minutes, so you'll probably have more luck around then, usually more active.
basically, just pretend you're in the USA timezones and you'll find more groups.

[cold vale]

Ummmmm...I am in the USA time zones.

I'm so confused

[muted horizon]

Since I am not secretly watching you through a window it's hard to assume where someone is located.
Just keep looking, make sure your build is up to snuff, and find some guides on how to do them. Ironhorse is not easy for newbies.

[cold vale]

Could have asked and not assume I'm in a different country. But yeah, thanks for....the....help.....I guess. I'll just keep an eye out for people that are in the USA time zones

[muted horizon]

I am in Australia, we're a multi-cultural sort here. Makes it more interesting that way.
best of luck, you'll probably fail your first without an amazing team to help, but 99% of players do. I know I did.

[swift peak]

discord dot gg/thedivision is the community server where people go for voice channels these days. I believe Xbox players often use their built in matchmaking software for raid groups however.

[cold vale]

Well, it's for discovery but everytime I try it, no one is on when I try to matchmake. I got in one time, but the group was in the middle of the final boss and I couldn't do anything but chill from the start point. So I'm trying here to find an actual group of people or even a clan that is active.

[muted horizon]

Discovery doesn't give you any of the exclusives in the Raids, so it's best just to pretend the mode doesn't exist.

[stray fjord]

Took me a while to understand that I was like where's my projects for Regulus

[cold vale]

It gives you practice to an extent to learn about the normal raids. Yes, there is a few more things in normal raid that's not in discovery. But it helps people understand a lot more.

[muted horizon]

Actually that's not really accurate. Discovery mode has weaker enemies and less complicated mechanics.
Basically it's a good way to be surprised by the Raid and do actively worse. Just seek out a teaching team, let them know you're new, have the build ready, and know some basic stuff+listen.

And if you haven't done a Raid in div2 before, it's highly recommended to go for Dark Hours first.

[cold vale]

That's a hard negative. I was taught on DH using discovery. So yeah....your point of view is a bit different than my experience

[muted horizon]

Whatever floats your goat, but that doesn't work for most new players.

[cold vale]

You assume a lot

[swift peak]

Rivens' view is the accepted wisdom amongst the experienced players and raiders here: assuming you have a good enough build and a team willing to give pointers, it's better to just jump straight into Normal.

[cold vale]

Well, my builds are fine. It's the lack of people willing to help new people (not players) seems like it's like pulling teeth to get people to help here

[stray fjord]

Is sniper build any good in iron horse?

[cold vale]

If it's the right build it can help. But you want to run more of a DMG build and healers build

[stray fjord]

Well it is mantis with headhunter and vigilance

[swift peak]

Yeah the raids have been out for years now and most people don't see much reason to keep running them after they have the exclusives, there's definitely been a large drop off in numbers. The removal of the voice channels on this server has pushed keen raiders elsewhere too

[stray fjord]

also three peace of ace gear set

[north rapids]

For a specific role yes but if you have to ask then you probably shouldn't play that role

[swift peak]

90% of a new player's job is killing adds, usually at short range, and damaging the boss at the right time, so a basic crit build is much more useful

[muted horizon]

One major factor in finding a group is to seem appealing to prospective teams, so be nice and you're more likely to get someone to send you an invite.

but also all that I said before.

[swift peak]

Must be about 3am in the US right now (how many time zones do they have?) plus it's a weeknight, so hardly prime time

[muted horizon]

3 I think, unless you count Hawaii.

[cold vale]

It's 1:40am in The West Coast of the USA

[muted horizon]

This is why I had to find a clan to join to do my first Raid.
it's just before 7pm here.

[cold vale]

3:41 in Central USA

4am in East Coast of USA

[stray fjord]

11:42 in finland I guess that's why nobody is responding to my Lfg

[swift peak]

Fair enough, you'll likely find more people about in early evening hours. Lots of Division players are older people with families, less likely to be gaming in the small hours of the morning

[cold vale]

10:43p in Hawaii

[swift peak]

9.40am here in the UK

[cold vale]

I have tried. Today is my first time reaching out on discord

[swift peak]

Could also try the GCRock discord, they specialise in raids I believe

[cold vale]

Yeah, I'm just gonna try whenever. I'm in no rush. I'm still working on getting proficiency level 19 I only need 40xp which feels like a life time

[swift peak]

I really would emphasize trying Normal instead of Discovery though, noob add control roles won't hold an experienced team back from a successful raid, and they still get something useful out of it

[cold vale]

I can't matchmake on normal. Only on discovery. But I have ran with some people on DH and I got my EB

But I was taught on discovery before I did normal

[swift peak]

The whole point of using discord to find a group is to get around the matchmaking issue

Also xbox built in match finding tools

[cold vale]

And that's why I have been asking around on this channel. Only to be told to go to 5 different rooms to ask lol

Idk what Xbox built match finding tools is. Never had to use that

[swift peak]

#lfg-raid-console is our official channel for that, but as mentioned one of the other discords will likely be better

[cold vale]

Yeah I left asg there too

*msg

[swift peak]

I'm on PC so I'm not entirely sure how they work, but I've been told they do, which is presumably why the raid console lfg channel is full of PS players and not xbox ones.

Hopefully an xbox player will show up to enlighten us

[haughty wagon]

We can put up an lfg (looking for group post) on any game with some tags, a small chat box(like 250 characters) and an option to specify how many people you need

For example rn I can see trixxor has a post up saying 🚌dark hours raid - chillout and have a good time 🛩🛩 multiple runs not my raid and he needs 1 person

[swift peak]

See notes above (thanks dragon!)

[humble gulch]

Is it possible to shock boomer using elmo or shocker punch, or scorpio is still the way to go?
Is cavalier useful in iron horse?

[ashen scaffold]

Its possible to shock boomer using elmo and shocker punch but scorpio also has a 20% damage amp so its upto you to pick. And I heard people using part of cavalier as its very easy to make a haz pro build using its bonus.

[azure pebble]

Elmos doesn't shock as long as scorpio does. It's possible to double down boomer with shocker punch, but shocking him with just elmos is very inconsistent due to shock duration. If you're fast about it, you can even alternatingly shock him with shocker punch and scorpio and keep him on one turret

Scorpio is still the best way to reliably do it imo

[mental pond]

or shock traps

deploy overcharged ones and they will sit there

[raw sonnet]

and there is no real point in shocking boomer tbh, if you shock him he will just run after, and if you shock him in the damage phase it shorten the damage phase duration

[long sky]

When you shock boomer and double or triple down him it speeds the game up

[solemn flame]

Huh?

[azure pebble]

It doesn't shorten damage phase duration. The idea of a double down is to shock him right after a damage phase, to prevent him him from throwing the emp grenade for just long enough to shoot out his backpack a second time.

[long sky]

Hey Buddha

[raw sonnet]

It did shorten our damage phase several time, he would get shocked, enter damage phase, instantly get up immune when the shock was over

Granted it's specific, it happenned several times for us to the point we asked our raid team to not use elmo against him if we had shock ammo aviable

[azure pebble]

I've never seen that happen and I've had people shock him with all kinds of things. Did you manage to make a video? It's likely that you just got the full two armor bars off of him quickly (the treshhold where he gets up automatically)

I'm not saying it's impossible but hasn't happened in my experience.

[raw sonnet]

didnt take a video, didnt bother tbh cause even with this its a pretty easy fight anyway

but i do remember him going down for damage phase and instantly back up without us being able to do any sort of damage to him

[kind token]

Boomer Double Down is a widely use strat. when he goes down have 1 person hit him with 5 shots of the Scorpio as is standing up hit him with 2 more to shock him allowing the turret person to down him a second time. If he does not throw the EMP you can do it a 3rd time. This mod def speeds up the encounter cause you're not walking him around. with the right builds you can finish boomer in 2 turrets

[raw sonnet]

didnt even know this was a strat

we didnt do this on purpose

[kind token]

well you learned something 🙂

[long sky]

I remember when you used to be able to 1 shot him with a nemisis

Before it was patched

[kind token]

Yup .. or the dogs shocky kill

[long sky]

And now you can 2 shot buddy and lucy

[kind token]

if you do it right you can kill them with 1 TAC50 shot

Question about the Williams encounter

[azure pebble]

Yes?

[humble gulch]

might wanna actually ask the Q

[azure pebble]

Which one are you looking to do?

[tender cedar]

Iron horse

[azure pebble]

Generally it's easiest if you either wait for someone to say that they have spots and then join them, or start one yourself.

[hearty elbow]

Sorry, was grabbin food but i had a question about one of his mechanics. Does the Demolisher Firefly actually hit the back of his neck to stop his healing or would it just now be allowed to target at all?

[muted horizon]

@vivid yacht You're looking for #lfg-raid-console

[vivid yacht]

Ik it’s dead

[muted horizon]

Still, can't post it elsewhere.
Try the community server, etc.

[slow cairn]

The demolisher firefly can temporarily disable his healing.

[muted horizon]

@fallow loom You're looking for #lfg-raid-console

[hearty elbow]

Anyone know if Williams still has the healing mechanic during Iron Horse on Discovery?

[slow cairn]

IIRC, he does have healing in Discovery mode. The difference from normal is that cogs are always 3 turns in Discovery and he doesn't spawn until lavas are broken in Discovery.

How many times do u need to run IH for regulus parts ?

[twin junco]

First time to get the bulwark and future initiative projects. One to two times for the iron work materials to finish the projects. And after that one last run to get the regulus parts.

[north rapids]

It's important to note that all of those runs have to be fresh (first of the week) ones, so unless you use a 2nd character to help gather the materials you'd need at least 3 weeks

[paper radish]

Do people use glass cannon with raid builds?

[north rapids]

Yes especially in dark hours

[humble gulch]

used on builds for one shotting bosses mostly

[mental pond]

gc top 3 chest talent with focused and chain killer

[slow cairn]

Adding to all the replies that using GC will also depend on your DPS build. 3 pc Prov yes. Strikers, no

[dim wharf]

You can definitely run GC with strikers

[lunar hull]

Why couldn't you

[slow cairn]

Can, but don't tell the Ceska/Obliterate devotees

Also, that sounds like a non-raider asking about GC in raids. If you can use GC and not be on the floor 90% of the raid, GC is great.

[dim wharf]

Yeah, I just mean the pros and cons of GC vs obliterate are at least roughly the same on both high end setups and strikers.

[honest latch]

hey guys i just did an iron horse raid interested in the regulus, i must have messed up and not collected some things because im still locked for the blueprint. saying must complete iron horse raid first. would be amazing if someone had a aparty i could join and in raid show the things i need to collect

[ashen scaffold]

So did you matchmake Iron Horse?

[honest latch]

yeah

[ashen scaffold]

Thats the problem.

[honest latch]

oh

[ashen scaffold]

You cant start your regulus quest from doing discovery only on normal which you need to find a party for.

[honest latch]

oh damn

it says on normal i have looted 2 bosses

but no raid keys

should i reset progress?

[ashen scaffold]

Well it really wont matter. You need to complete first and then wait for reset once you get to the regulus part quest.

[honest latch]

i see

[ashen scaffold]

Atleast you have plenty of time to get to that point only issue is just finding a party for ih.

[muted horizon]

@knotty parrot discovery doesn't allow you to get any of the raid rewards, fyi.

Hey everyone
Is there a way to get stats (dps,etc) during or after a raid?

[north rapids]

I don't understand that question

[humble gulch]

like the stat screen after a mission? i dont think so

[tawdry island]

There was a stat screen sometimes ago. But since the stats were utter mess they removed it 😆

[north rapids]

oh you mean like the dmg breakdown after missions

[late verge]

yeah

[long sky]

It's in raid settings you have to activate it right before starring then it goes away

It's in the same area as the timer

is there another raid discord? what happened to all the raid vc's

gone. reduced to atoms.

[deep jasper]

no alternative options?

what headhunter build is used for iron horse morozova fight?

[long sky]

use the standard meta one

If you can get stacks gc on strikers is far worse

If you can't then no point running gc

[lunar hull]

yes

[warped raptor]

Hi, I'm returning player from launch, I tried to collect raid keys in Dark Hours for 2 weeks, and didn't get a single key, completed the raid twice in 2 weeks and looted all the key boxes. What am I missing?

[lunar hull]

were the loot boxes already opened or

[mental pond]

keys usually resets in a week

[lunar hull]

every tuesday

[warped raptor]

I farmed last week and this week

[lunar hull]

was it today this week

if it was yesterday yeah it wouldnt count

keys reset every tuesday

[warped raptor]

Yes, just finished r/n

[lunar hull]

so were the boxes already opened

[warped raptor]

No, all were closed

[lunar hull]

that means there was a bug with the physical action of opening it

if you run again you should be able to open them, if not, fast travel to white house and back

[warped raptor]

I opened all and got only parts, finished the raid and didn't even get the razorback one

[lunar hull]

thats not possible

unless youre 15/15 keys

[warped raptor]

I have the EB on pc, i farmed this raid keys for weeks back then.. This is why this seems odd now. Not a single key

[lunar hull]

well thats not possible so

[swift peak]

Were you running it on Normal difficulty or Discovery?

[warped raptor]

Well, didn't notice, which one do I need for the keys?

[swift peak]

Has to be Normal, you don't get keys on Discovery

[warped raptor]

Yea that's about it, guess thats also explain why it was so easy runs as well.

[pure granite]

Do people do raids anymore?…

[slow cairn]

Yes! I am on PS and see a lot of clans with active PSN raid chats. Larger Discord servers might see daily lfg raid action or have regular scheduled raids. If large servers such as Official Div aren't producing many raids, I don't think it's so much lack of interest but rather time of day or a lot of people posting "👀" in lfg but not attempting to form a raid.

[pure granite]

So where should I be looking to find a raid group? This is the most ascribe discord I’ve found for the game but it seems like the raid channel doesn’t have much success. I’m also in a clan but I’m the only person ever online

@slow cairn

[hot jolt]

try the other division server, since that one still has voice channels

[pure granite]

Can you dm me an invite

[hot jolt]

sent

[slow cairn]

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with active PC raid groups. But I'm sure other PC players in this server can help. Also check #td2-clan-recruitment for PC raiding clans. Some clans have their own Discord servers that they organize raids in regularly.

ok 👌

[lunar hull]

Lol

[haughty wagon]

We can put up a "post" and can include a short message and some tags for example dh need 6 nmr kwtd

You can then immediately see who's interested and invite them to a party chat

[hexed relic]

So... Which is the easier of the two raids, what's the set-up, and how would I go about finding a group willing to teach me?

[mental pond]

dh is easier get a standard high end dps build look in #lfg-raid-console

[long sky]

DH is a Straight DPS raid not a lot of Mechanics. IH has a more mechanics and if 1st time youll need a DPS build then work on Healer, headhunter, stagger and key tank.

How come i don't have access to certain channels?

[valid marlin]

Which channels are you looking for?

[tender hollow]

I am sure the last time i was in this discord there was voice channels for raids etc. But also some links in the chat are showing as "no access"

[north rapids]

Voice channels got removed from here and linked "no access" channels are most likely for the Plattforms you don't have chosen the roles for, so in your case probably the Xbox and Playstation lfg channels

[tender hollow]

ahhh that makes sense, appreciate the clarity

[long sky]

@tender hollow use the other div server for raids

and channels

[tender hollow]

which one is that?

[formal forge]

Is there a new raid?

[mental pond]

new incursion next season

[formal forge]

Ok thanks

[lunar hull]

Not a raid tho

[muted horizon]

It's the margarine of Raids, the diet-coke of Raids.

[lunar hull]

No

[muted horizon]

just one calorie, not Raidy enough!

[lunar hull]

Nuh uh

[muted horizon]

you don't watch many movies.
anyway, yeah Incursions are not really Raids, but they're more Raidy than Countdown, which used to be called a Raid.

[deep inlet]

Tbh the only “raid” in this game is IH.

DH isn’t even a raid compared to IH.

[warm wren]

i mean its just a less mechanics heavy raid

[long sky]

Happy RESET DAY, hope everyone's ha ing a great day

[lament dragon]

gc rocks server is great

[tender hollow]

nice, i joined the other division discord with voice channels

[atomic willow]

can you still farm raid keys from bosses once you're done collecting them from the boxes??

[swift peak]

Yep

No limit to the keys from the final boss

[atomic willow]

🙏 thanks

Helloo ! I hope you're all doing well.

Me and my friends have been playing the game for around a month now. And we are trying to do the Dark Hours raid with a 4 man squad.

Evidently, we can't make it pass boomer 😅 But I wanted to ask if anyone has done it recently and the builds and strats followed.

For us, we seem to have difficulties getting boomer down with the turrets, and taking too long to kill ads. I know that Boomer is basically a dps check, and we've been running as high dps as we can, but I can't figure out where to go from here.

Currently, I'm wearing almost all red (one blue core, but picaro so I have the 15% weapon dmg). I have 48% crit chance (we have a coyote's buff) and around 150% CHD (I know it can go up more but Im farming mods for that). I'm using St Elmo and clearing ads at an okay speed. My dps is around 3 mil from tests. Do I try farming better gear (I basically just have talents that arent well calibrated on my brand set loadout, but my striker loadout is almost perfect) or do we focus on more practice ?

[azure pebble]

In order to do DH with 4 people, what matters most is experience imo. The players should have a good understanding of mechanics, and importantly timings, such as spawns, or gas/computer cycles. Damage is certainly one aspect, but it's more about experience and the players being able to do things on their own, such as holding corners on boomer and rb, or staying alive on triplets and dogs via good positioning.

If you're just starting out. I'd recommend running it with 8, and then gradually reducing the number of players, as your group learns to compensate for fewer players, to solo corners, and so on.

The raid doesn't scale down for fewer players than 8. So if all you're after is the completion, then running with 8 will give you the best shot.

[solemn summit]

Thank you for all the info ! I appreciate it ❤️

[dire garden]

I know for most groups, alot of people are trying to one shot Fieser to avoid the the furnace mechanic in general, but if you had a team that couldn't get the 1 shot to work which would you prefer.

an unkillable tank in the furnace or a Hybrid that can tank but also effectively take care of Weakpoints aswell?

[slate hawk]

For time wise a hazard dps is good as they can prep the boss do the weak-points and also survive inside the furnace @dire garden

[rapid solar]

tank.
Otherpeople can peek and shoot the weakpoints

[austere fog]

Use a full red to break weakpoint, then switch to tank to run in to furnace

[dire garden]

ahh yes, swapping builds mid combat, why didn't I think of that

[austere fog]

Doesn't take more than 30 seconds to hot swap

[lunar hull]

Or just don't

[foggy summit]

has anyone figured out solid team comps for the raid yet?

[dim wharf]

Raids or the new incursion?

[golden laurel]

so any one reach last boss

love birds

[mental pond]

yeah

[brave sigil]

ofc the rest are easy

[swift peak]

Apparently the incursion scales off the hosts world difficulty, so Normal is actually nowhere near as tough as Heroic? I'm not in a position to confirm, but if anyone feels like testing, that would be useful to check.

[mental pond]

yeah

i can confirm its between heroic and challenging but it is more close to heroic than challenging

in term of enemy tankiness

from my experience

[swift peak]

I mean, if the group leader has their world difficulty set to Normal, does that make the incursion enemies noticeably less tough than if they have their world difficulty set to heroic?

[dire garden]

do yall think Cavalier would be good for this incursion, or is it still just a PvP build?

[edgy spade]

from my experience beatin dis new incursion… tha 3rd boss is tha hardest imo

[echo merlin]

For healers in the new incursion what are y'all using?

I have FI with BTSU and Alps opportunistic BP

Wondering if it's better to go FI BP or safeguard

[hushed cypress]

Setup BP with perfect opp talent and mark enemies/bosses with scorpio. That'll help DDs in your group.

[past dragon]

Fire nade sledhammer at the start and then switch to scorpio for ultimo burst

[magic jasper]

hi

[past dragon]

Your group will thank you

[echo merlin]

Yeah I'm using sledgehammer

[wintry wigeon]

any one can tell me is the raid voice chats disabled or something because I came back after a year and I dont see any raid voice chats here ?

[icy hull]

see #discord-news

[foggy summit]

Decoy seems to work better than emp jammer

[rose sapphire]

Can I open the final loot chest every time after the end of incursion

[ashen scaffold]

once a week per char

[foggy summit]

Does anyone want help learning FI for paradise?

[lunar hull]

so has anyone figured out how to get that last comm yet

[foggy summit]

comm?
